It doesn't give the dimensions at the base, but I'll guess that it's 3 inches wide. Based on that info, I will guess that it's around 11-12 degrees.

Title: Re: Trivia Post by: gleek on February 06, 2007, 03:04:22 PM Hmmm...According to this article, a bowling pin needs 10 degrees of tilt in order to topple.
http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761575956/Bowling.html Quote Pins are generally made of wood and plastic, and weigh between 1.53 kg and 1.64 kg (3 lb 6 oz and 3 lb 10 oz). Each pin is 38.1 cm (15 in) tall. Pins have a narrow neck that gradually widens to a diameter of 12 cm (4.75 in) at the widest point, called the belly. The pin then tapers to a base 5.7 cm (2.25 in) in diameter. This design causes the pin to fall if tilted 10 degrees.

For those of you who have heard of the Birthday paradox please allow the others a chance. If you have 23 randomly chosen people in a room, what are the odds that 2 of them share a birthday*? For extra credit, now you have 60 randomly chosen people in a room. What are the odds? *not the same year, just the day Title: Re: Trivia Post by: gleek on February 06, 2007, 08:04:44 PM If I may be so bold and join in the reindeer games....
